Palma Ends Retirement With Saturday Bout in Puerto Rico!

Claiming he retired more out of frustration than anything else, Alexandria, VA lightweight Jaime "The Punisher" Palma will return to the ring for a bout this Saturday, March 28 in Bayamon, Puerto Rico.

Palma (13-12-1, three KO's) has not fought since his 10-round unanimous decision loss to former world champion Kevin Kelley on July 8, 2008 in Las Vegas. Shortly after that bout Palma announced his retirement but has changed his mind.

Palma, who is originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico, will face Marcos Leonardo "El Tigre" Jimenez (15-1, nine KO's) in a scheduled eight-round encounter at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez.

This will be the first of two scheduled appearances for a Beltway Boxer at this location. Lamont Peterson will battle Willy Blain for the WBO Interim Junior Welterweight title on April 25 in this coliseum.

Palma is a nice kid. As a fighter, he is less than average. He should fight someone at his own level. I hate to see him get hurt.
